New Product: American Stone

American Stone, Inc. has launched a new method of stone display with a product called The Workshop. Solving the space problem of tile samples clogging showrooms and confusing customers, The Workshop bridges the visual gap of custom stone presentation by offering over 2,800 samples of custom mosaics, patterns, layouts and various finishes through a powerful software tool. The easy-to-use program, coupled with 30 sample boards of actual materials, all fits together in a small kiosk-style unit that occupies less than 25 feet of floor space, according to the company.

In the December 2016 issue, we look at some highlights of the Marmo+Mac 2016, and the new renovations of the Freemasons' Hall in London, England. We also present some new products, technology updates, machine of the month, and stone of the month.

For this issue, we are excited to share with you four features that focus on using compact and ultrathin slabs in both residential and commercial projects. As these products continue to gain popularity, we wanted to share different ideas of applications, including an upscale dining environment in the interior of a Saks Fifth Avenue.
